I really don't understand the opposition to voter ID, other than because the opponents wish to engage in election fraud. And democrats cannot hide behind the fixation that they're just trying to help everyone - if you don't have your Obamacare card, you'll have to pay your doctor full freight, even if you've paid for the policy. If you have to show ID in order to avoid having to pay the doctor in full, then why shouldn't you be required to show ID in order to vote?

The solution, of course, is to issue an ID to everyone without them having to do anything to get it: file a state tax return as a resident, then you get sent an ID card that ties you to a particular registration. If you file an unemployment claim and you do not have an ID, you get issued an ID along with your unemployment compensation. If you register for Medicaid, you get an ID. If you .... See where I'm going with this? When everyone has an ID, then no one has an excuse for trying to vote without showing ID.
